I'll try to provide links to back up these assertions later:
(1) Huge deficits
(2) Iraq War, with ridiculous goals (exporting democracy, particularly while keeping a completely artificial country intact) and the possibility of expanding to try to conquer the entire middle east.
(3) No Child left Behind, which will eventually require that every single child in a school meets certain standards; in other words, that there is a 0% failure rate (John Derbyshie cynically remarked that it requires all students to be above average). Impossible goals like this lead to disaster; in order to meet the impossible goals, expect education fraud to increase markedly.
(4) Total lack of introspection and a total refusal to see that he can be wrong on policy issues; in the debate, his only mistake that he can see was appointing people who didn't turn out to be yes-men. No nalysis whatsoever.
(5) No spine on gun rights issues; wouldn't oppose the assault weapons ban, won't pressure Norman Mineta to expedite the armed pilot's program.
(6) Bush wants open borders, or close to it.
I'm sure I'll think of more.
